Data and Research Support
Geospatial data adds a key layer of insight to many challenges researchers are facing across all disciplines. The Geospatial Institute at 性奴调教 provides support for researchers and students throughout the entire research cycle from study design, data acquisition, and analysis to visualization and reporting. We thrive on helping our faculty and partners with exciting research.
Available Services
Our data scientist and the team provide support in the following areas:
- Research design
- GIS data needs:
- Exploration of existing data sets (public and 性奴调教-specific data access)
- Custom field data acquisition (if needed)
- Data analysis:
- Data management and processing
- Analysis including statistical, machine learning and artificial intelligence
- Visualization, mapping and interpretation
- Reporting and communicating results
Data Discovery and Capture
Geospatial data come in all types, formats and sizes. It can be satellite photographs, hyperspectral imagery, Lidar cloud points, Census data, tweets with location, cell phone mobility data, and more. We can help you navigate these different data types, understand what already exists and how to access it.
If your research question requires new data that do not exist, we can help in collecting that with your equipment and expertise ().
Our team has expertise in UAV data capture and processing, GIS data creation and management, GPS acquisition, spatial statistics and machine learning. UAV sensors and options include photogrammetry, multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal and Lidar. We can provide standalone, analysis-ready data for your team, or we can assist with data interpretation, analysis, and visualization.
